Depression after Treatment

Sorry to hear you are down cos you seemed such a bubbly person when I met you in Melbourne. I think we put on a brave face to get through all the treatment. We convince ourselves to stay positve.However,when we are a safe distance from the trauma we relook at it and realize we can now cry. Some of the anti hormone drugs like Tamoxifen can really mess with your head. I was having a few dark thoughts and my oncologist put me on Endep(very low dose of 10mgs) but it really helped with hot flushes and low mood. I didn't need any further help.I think this network is a great place to express your feelings and "talk" to others.See your doctor and get checked out.The girls above me give great advice and at the very least,you know you are not alone with these feelings. I found it took me about 2 years after each breast cancer bout(2 bc rides) to feel more confident about my health and feel like my old self. I do art therapy each week and I find that helps. Are you working too hard and not having enough"me "time?Take care darl,let us know how you are. love and hugs,Tonya xx
